[@ameliasander7118]

But the charities that run the donation collection programs that distribute those things to the homeless do.... So unless you are expecting them to go seek out individual homeless people and give them things (which believe me, most of the time that would not be welcomed), you are incorrect. these people are awesome, they are actively reducing the gnarly amount of waste that "regular" people create and they are donating what they can which is way more than can be said about most people...

elisa maldonado Hi 🤗, thanks for letting me know your suggestion. I never thought of that. Thank you. I’ve not looked it up, but will check it out because I’m really serious about this...well, there are some liabilities am sure, but we are grown folk trying to make a change for the better and anything I, you, or anyone else for that matter should be aware of is their own liability if and when they dumpster dive, and this one area should not be a hindrance on anyone as it has been for many company’s to hold it against people in general. They keep doing what they do nonstop by throwing away many many usable items including food that can feed the hungry everyday. It doesn’t help the environment on what they keep doing. As it is, the not donating food that is expired due to lawsuits. That is insane! Not everything that has an expired date is technically expired or as it is with the ‘best used by’ whatever date. It says best use by...not expired, yet it gets thrown out too. I’ve not tried dumpster diving myself, but I think people should actually get paid to do it because it’s like another job. Cleaning out dumpsters for towns in making sure that usable items are not filling up our landfills. 💜✌🏼

You can get the spray paint out!!!!!!!..it takes some elbow grease but you can do it..my kind of beautiful does it all the time!!!!

[@clink76]

they often use the primer and paint in one spray paint from rustoleum and you can't get that out for anything from fabric.

[@amyfinch9131]

Well I’m a dumpster diver and I dive bed bath and beyond where they spray paint everything and it’s the same and I can get the paint out and if there is a little paint that I can’t get out it doesn’t bother me!..they should of at least taken the ugg blanket!

[@teresawatkins6317]

Yes they do. I think I have even seen them do an ugh blanket!

[@amyfinch9131]

Yes they have.

good morning friend, when you guys find painted bedding send it here to Brazil 😁, I swear I will love receiving it. God bless your family

[@rosejones134]

😂 I thought my family was the only ones that say, “Halloweeniee”!

[@annbrownson9880]

Spray paint wouldn't show me down. DUVAT COVER. Though my mother is a quilters and we could easily cover that. In fact, my quilting guild could take those blankets & pillows and use them as inner bases for different projects- such as quilting for heros. The lining stuff can get expensive.

[@heatherhanson7754]

the wood cutting boards you can always sand off the paint with a scrubby or sand paper. then like new

[@Veirud]

And looove the styrofoam skeletons and other stuff!!! And all those flowers!!! Wow!!!! Awesome cool scores!!!👍

What’s the best times to go dumpster diving ?

[@dawnchristine1344]

You could try tie dyeing the blanks

[@themakeupaddict01]

I found that rubbing alcohol helps to get off the spray paint! I hate when they spray paint stuff 🙄

[@essie7182]

Anytime I have something spray painted or damaged I just dye it a new color. It's a great way to fix something that was even just stained by myself or the kids markers.

[@SoxGurl45]

See now I would have taken those unbroken styrofoam rings for making wreaths!!!

[@maryfalco9368]

Different people have different hobbies👍

[@arithrojas3583]

U guys are in to the donation spirit yes watching them and pass them to the homeless people are very good to keep the warm

[@paranoiarpincess]

The waste of them destroying the dumpster items really breaks my heart. You probably could grab any pillows that are just sprayed, and recover them.

[@robinmonroe1276]

Cool items 😎. That had some cool Halloween 🎃 stuff thrown away. Pricey pieces at that!

[@Suttonk2]

It’s disgusting how these greedy companies destroy items that people could use. I don’t steal. and I never feel bad about people stealing from stores because they will NEVER miss it. They consider dumpster diving as stealing, how is that possible!?!

[@tammierenee8835]

Those hair brush things are Revlon Hot Tools hair styler which sells for about $60. If it was used and returned then it had hair on it and couldn’t be resold. I have one and love it. So sad that they paint everything. Thanks for keeping things out of the landfill. Your virtual friend Tami from CA.
